..Dead thru head ( SLPic of Jerry in portapotty) hopped onto a truckload of portapottys crawling down the breakdown lane. last ride hitchhiking to the Grateful Dead concert at Watkin's Glen. the truck was the only thing moving towards the concert , in miles of backed up traffic and the only mobile place to go on the go. It rolled thru gates in the barbed wire fences, with mounted police patroling between them...peeping through the potty's vent the security was intense, fortifided to prevent a repeat of Woodstock's recent gate crashing. Realizing the concert wasn't open yet... After the truck parked by the stage. Ending trucking to the show... "Came in through the bathroom window,"by the Beatles in mind while hopping off the truck, "Hey What're You Doin!?" someone yelled. Busted! "Hey bring some more duct tape to the tower ...this is the biggest sound system ever! And still have miles of speaker lines to run!" not Busted, put to work ... front row center before the gates opened to the masses,sitting in the lotus position, further expanding my consiousness pondering the I ching in blue swade bellboytoms (a high school graduation present), pop up silk top hat( from L.A. Thrift shop),& a hand full of turquoise rings... first of many live Grateful Dead shows...
